[26] For the known geographic distribution of the grammarians, see Appendix 5. To my knowledge, a comparable distinction could be made for the earlier empire: thus, in the East, a grammarian from Tarsus, P. Tattius Rufus, taught at Zela in Helenopontus (Anderson et al., Studia Pontica 3.248 no. 276 Tchaï-Keuï, in the region of Zile), and another grammarian, Maximus, taught at Sebastopolis in Armenia I (Kaibel 402 = IGR 3.118 = GVI 1184 Soulou-Seraï), both places later episcopal centers. Compare also the grammarian Chrestus from Nicomedia at the old Greek city of Philippopolis in the interior of Thrace: IGBulg . 3:1.1021 = GVI 614 Plovdiv, where should be printed, the latter as the man's name, the former as designation of his origin (on
= Nicomedia[n], see Robert, "Hellenica" 166f. [with Hellenica 2.65 n. 2; Bull. ép . 1950, 195; "Documents" 424]; Helly and Marcillet-Jaubert, "Remarques" 253; Moretti, "Nuovi epigrammi" 81ff. no. 11). The case of such a man as Rufus of course remains important evidence for the penetration of the Hellenic literary culture "aux villageois barbares des montagnes" (Cumont in Anderson et al., Studia Pontica 3.249; cf. 159). On the distribution of the schools see also Marrou, Histoire 427ff.; Jones, LRE 997f.; Étienne, Bordeaux 253, for fourth-century Gaul; Riché Education 23ff.; and Chap. 3 pp. 106f. For small-town teachers (not grammarians) see, e.g., Part II nos. 120, 158, 178, and perhaps also no. 263.
